Due to increasing need for various urgent maintenance activities such
as upkeep of the mechanical structure of the antennas, antenna
painting and the activities related to the GMRT upgrade, observatory
many not be able to maintain the availability of minimum 27 antennas,
which is specified in the GMRT-specs document "The GMRT : System
Parameters and Current Status". Consequently, for Cycle 21, the best
efforts will be made to make 26 antennas available.
